Former WWE Champion Jeff Hardy is heading to All Elite Wrestling
Jeff Hardy suddenly left WWE in the middle of an event match and has never returned since then. The company tried to help him with rehab and offered him a contract, but he decided to leave the company. And now he has announced that he is heading to AEW.
In the backstage area of Hardy’s meet and Greet acoustic concert tour, Jeff was interviewed by Jared Myers, a longtime fan of “The Charismatic Enigma.” Where Hardy mentioned that he will be going to AEW programming.
“I’m 44 now, and I’m going to AEW,” Hardy says as a wicked guitar solo plays in the background, which drowns out everything in the foreground, just before a round of cheers arise from an unseen audience, making you think they’re also excited for Hardy’s move. “I’m so excited. Until this morning, I didn’t really know… [inaudible] I’m so nervous.” (h/t GameSpot)
All Elite Wrestling is yet to confirm this news with its typical “Jeff Hardy is All Elite” slogan announcement on social media. It’s unclear until Jeff made it clear during the video and drowned out by rock n roll.
Hardy was one of the 80+ wrestlers who got released from WWE reportedly due to budget cuts. Since then, AEW has been on a roll to pick up some of the greatest superstars from WWE to its company, including Malakai Black, Brody King, CM Punk, Bryan Danielson.
Jeff’s brother Matt has been performing with AEW since March 2020, and now there is a chance to see The Hardy Boyz together in the ring. It will be interesting to see when Jeff will be making his in-ring appearance in the AEW company.
